Is Chartnote HIPAA compliant?

Q: Does Chartnote sign a HIPAA BAA?

Yes, it signs a BAA. Chartnote's Terms of Use build its Business Associate Agreement into every account, including free and trial accounts, once a covered entity uses it with patient data. Its trust center says the AI model providers behind its scribe and Copilot process clinical content under a BAA and don't train on it.

Chartnote signs a Business Associate Agreement, which HIPAA requires before a vendor handles patient data for you. Once it's signed, you can use Chartnote with patient data within the BAA's scope; whether your use is compliant still depends on your setup and your own policies.

A signed BAA is necessary but not sufficient for HIPAA compliance, which also depends on configuration, access controls, and your own policies.
